Reach consumers who want your mail

The best way to find out exactly what consumers want is to ask. And that's exactly what we do! Our Opt-inData contains details of millions of consumers and their preferences for products and services.

Because our Opt-inData file contains preferences (not profiles), it is highly targeted and responsive, enabling you to specifically target consumers who have given their permission to be contacted.

Based on consumer preferences, our highly targeted and responsive Opt-inData enables you to reduce your direct mail investment and increase your response rates by between 20 - 400%.

Opt-inData is clean and fresh. As part of our ongoing dialogue and service to our members we regularly update our files with their changing preferences.

Case Study:
"We've been very impressed with Opt-inData. Our objective was to acquire maximum new business with minimum spend. The Preference Service was instrumental in helping us achieve that. The Preference Service's Opt-inData significantly out performed all other cold data by 53%."

Michelle Simm - Marketing Executive, Scottish Legal Life

. Reach consumers who want your product/service

. Reach new consumers - 56% of people in our Opt-inData file do not normally complete lifestyle surveys

The file for responsible marketers

An ever increasing number of consumers are becoming more aware of marketing techniques and equally their right to privacy and anonymity. They are annoyed at unwanted advertising material intruding their personal time particularly without first giving their permission or having the opportunity to opt-out.

Mailing consumers that are not interested in your product / service can be very costly and can also be detrimental to your brand and the future of your business.

Our Opt-outData is a file containing details of consumers who have specifically stated that they are not interested in your product / service and do not wish to be contacted with offers / information about it.

Removing consumers who have stated that they are not interested in your product / service from your mailing list makes ethical and financial sense. That's why we've teamed up with The REaD Group, market leaders in the field of suppression, to provide you with Opt-outData - The file for responsible marketers.

Benefits:

. Increase your direct mailing's return on investment

. Reduce wasted resources

. Protect the integrity of your brand

. Listen to the wishes of consumers
